Senseez :: Mom Invents Product to Help Special Needs Children
I am a Mom and I created the Senseez Pillows. The name Senseez means to ease the senses. Let me tell you the story of how Senseez was born. When my son was 2, he was diagnosed with a special need. One of his difficulties was sitting in one place long enough to eat his meal, read a story, or sit for circle time. I spoke to an occupational therapist who recommended a vibrating mat to help with this. I bought one for my son, and he instantly loved the sensations!

Fashion :: Tips From A (Former) Shopaholic
The years prior to when my daughter was born were ones where I spent (admittedly) too much time shopping and it was a favorite pastime of mine. I loved to shop for antiques, things for the house, gifts for friends and family, but I was mainly on the search for beautiful clothes. You probably wouldn’t know that by looking at me today, as I don’t really have the time, money or energy to put into this former pastime that I did years ago. But don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy finding quality clothes that can stand the test of time. I still try to find good sales as it is always more fun to get a bargain, but you need to know…

I am a single woman in the second half of my thirties who has devoted the better part of two decades to the work of women. Specifically, how we relate to ourselves, our identity, our experiences of self and the roles we play, and our experiences of our spirits, our spiritualities, our personal growths and beliefs.

Lunches From Around the World Kids around the world are preparing to go back to school—that means homework, new friends and … lunch? Yes, that’s right!
